The 'couv

Days 20 & 21. Sunday, May 10 & Monday, May 11.

Our RV park in Vancouver was very nice. Definitely the best of the major cities, and Casey and I were able to do all of the laundry and clean up and rent a car and order pizza and get ready for the biggest test we're to face living in a motorhome: two more adults and a 15 month-old baby. The arrived late in the morning at the airport among a sea of asians, so they were pretty easy to spot. We went back to the park to allow them relax and decompress after a long journey and we caught the third period of the Wings' win over Anaheim. We went out for dinner downtown and found a place right on the water (none of us brought cameras).

By the way, the drive into downtown from HWY-1 is crazy! I have never seen so many junkies and hookers in one place, and I've spent a lot of time in both Detroit and LA! It was like the Hamsterdam episodes of the Wire. What up wit' dat, Vancouver?

Monday was kinda dreary and we all agreed that the Vancouver Aquarium was the place to go. This is in Stanley Park which is also a very cool place. Clara brought her A-game.










After the aquarium we went to check out Granville Island; also a cool place. The have a huge market where we picked up some delicious hand-made ravioli, sun dried tomato pesto, and some of their finest meats and cheeses. We also hit a bakery for the next morning's breakfast, and Casey was able to find a small book store where she got books two, three and four of the Twilight series after ripping through the first book in two days.




Dinner was fantastic at Sammy J. Pepper's and we returned to the RV to continue the epic euchre battle between Trumpshaker and Parliament Trumpadelic (NOT Grand Trump Railroad).
